We are interested in working with communities on developing initiatives around, for example, environmental and sustainability, health and wellbeing and social inclusion.
Dublin Airport Local Community Access Scholarship
We have partnered with Dublin City University (DCU) to provide scholarships through DCU’s Access Service, to those students that may be marginalised in our community, giving them a unique opportunity to access third level education.
The Community Fund will also support up to 20 students per year to enable them to attend DCU via its Access Programme. To find out more about the DCU Access Service, you can visit its website on www.dcu.ie/access
Community Fund Logo/Branding
Successful applicants will need Dublin Airport Community Fund’s logo to promote support of their initiative, which will be included in the subsequent Outcome Report mentioned above. This promotion could take the form of pitch-side signage, club jerseys or kits, garden benches or allotment signs, group websites, newsletters, social media, etc. Print and digital versions of the Community Fund logo are available below. Please read the Dublin Airport Community Fund Toolkit before using our logos. The Brand Toolkit will tell you all you need to know about which logo(s) to use and how to use them.
If you require any advice or assistance regarding use of the Community Fund’s logo, please contact us at communityfund@daa.ie.

Dublin Airport's Community Fund was delighted to support Portmarnock Athletics Club again this year with their annual Beach 5k Race on Friday, August 22.
From the children's colour dash and the under 15s race, to the 5k Seniors race, the beach was awash with colour as the runners took their place at the starting lines before racing up the sand. This local athletics event really caters for every age, with runners, young and old, clubs, friends and family members, all competing over the evening with a well deserved ice cream at the finish line.
On a lovely summer Friday evening and joining in the fun at the beach, our daa community team were only delighted to attend and lend a hand to give out the prizes to the deserving winners on the night.
